Today I learned the back story of how Enigma sampled a famous Indigenous Taiwanese song in their hit “Return to Innocence” released in 1994. The song was used without permission, and the Amis couple who recorded it had to sue them. youtu.be/Rk_sAHh9s08

My friend Catie Lilly co-authored this book which is a much-needed update on Taiwan’s recent history 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Congratulations on your new book Catie Lilly! I know your cultural knowledge and dedication to researching #Taiwan will shine on the page

Ū lâng kóng: In the early 1990s, the people of Taiwan gained the right to vote for their executive and legislature. The outcome of democratization : a new, de facto nation and people that can be justly called “Taiwanese.” Yet this revolution remains unfinished and incomplete.

We really need to see books like this one selling in the Taipei 101 gift shop, at the CKS Memorial and in the National Palace Museum gift shop. Congrats to Catie Lilly and @mhar4

Oh this sounds really good!

Another title to add to our reading wall ... this looks very interesting and timely. Revolutionary Taiwan by Catie Lilly & Mark Harrison x.com/CambriaPress/s…

My feelings are already known as per this blurb. Will be excited to see this in bookstores.

This person preemptively blocked me but it's a good chance to say that our Taiwan book is one of the few general interest pubs cowritten by someone from a 台語-speaking family long committed to TW self-determination, a perspective rarely heard outside TW cambriapress.com/pub.cfm?bid=11…

So proud of my friend, Catie Lilly❣️ Congratulations to @mhar4 and Catie Lilly on this timely publication! I can't wait to get my hands on it. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of Taiwan, be sure to get a copy of this book!

My debut book, Where Every Ghost Has a Name: A Memoir of Taiwanese Independence, is officially on sale today! Today, I am an author and a book mom. Thanks to everyone who believed in this project and who encouraged me to keep going. It’s been a long time coming. 💕💕

"Revolutionary Taiwan: Making Nationhood in a Changing World Order" by Catie Lilly & @mhar4 is now available! ow.ly/wrmM50Ttmri "If you buy only one book on Taiwan’s history, this is it." —James Lin

This sounds very promising. It's a wonder to see all these books being written and published in Taiwan by academics, journalists, and other kinds of authors.

Congratulations to Catie Lilly & @mhar4 !

To be clear about what is happening with undergraduate creative writing instruction at Stanford, a literal handful of tenured faculty are flexing the privilege of their rank to fire NTT lecturers who built such a successful program: insidehighered.com/opinion/blogs/…

With Catie Lilly / @mhar4 & Dr. Shona Loong / Aaron Connelly releasing books today my bank account is a little lighter However worth as all are great writers researchers so new books on Taiwan & Myanmar respectively much anticipated, should be an interesting to read side by side too.

Hugely recommended.
